Unfortunately. rather than getting to work and pressing Mugabe to undertake meaningful reforms and halt his latest assault on human beings. on political and human rights. this statement was followed by a plea of support for the Mugabe regime by the International Monetary Fund. Is the complete retraction of political and human rights and the beating to death of innocent civilians not bad for Zimbabwe? Are Mugabes disastrous economic policies. which have resulted in inflation rates of up to 3.000 percent. unemployment rates of 80 percent. and the flight of thousands of economic and political refugees from Zimbabwe into other SADC countries not bad for the region? And what does the continued coddling of Mugabe say about the SADC members commitment to a "new vision" of responsible governance under the New Economic Partnership for Africa Development. which was championed by South Africa? Madam Speaker. the Mugabe government has used every means of suppression. every tool that they could muster. to crush those who disagree with that regime.
